How to make it keto
Ensure the stuffing is keto-friendly, explicitly requesting no breadcrumbs, rice, or starchy vegetables (like carrots or potatoes). Ask for it baked, not fried (to avoid breading). Request no traditional starchy sides.
Watch out for
Potential use of breadcrumbs or rice in the stuffing, hidden sugars in sauces, served with high-carb sides if not explicitly omitted.
